Well I'm not going to lie or run away from my emotions, I cried. God bless you men and women, thank you so very much for sharing your talent. This was beautiful and as gentle as a warm summer breeze, rich with honey that slowly flowed over the taste buds of my ears...... One of my very favorite old standards, you magnificently honored this precious jewel of a song.
There are NO words to express the true emotion that listening to this version releases, especially the bass, it seems superhuman and all together they create a celestial harmony that can only do you good to listen to it again even 1000 times and it's never enough..
@@angelocondello5995 ....So Very True, The meaning of this song tears at your heart, ( learn to be loved in return ) ,,, Stay Blessed today & keep safe .....
I Think you might like ((( Dust ))) by Lenord & Freinds , it will take you on a ride & the words are pretty true, I like jamming to it as a backing track on the guitar, enjoy...
❤ Brilliant, wow WOW, boy oh boy! Those harmonies, Those melodies, that Baritone, those Tenors, that Base WOW...'Perrrfect' PERFECTO - It melts me..that accapella/vibrato accapella. NO WORDS - to Describe; Marvelous - Superb 🪭 Fantastico!!
Love this version of my favourite song of all time which always makes me think of my son Saul. 'there was a boy a very strange enchanted boy' .... very wise, very wise was he ,, the greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return x
O my goodness, so beautiful. I feel in my heart that this canorous rapturous melody is pleasing to God's ears. I use to think that James Brown did the best rendition of Nature Boy. Not any more. Bravo beautiful young people. 🙏🏾
Heard this a while ago it popped up again just now. I attended school with 'A Special Blend'. The three male members later formed take 6. I used to watch 'a special blend' rehearse when I supervised one of the buildings they rehearsed in before they became well known. You all sounded very good back then, where is everyone now an what happened to your careers?
Essa música, sempre me emociona ao ouvi-la. Interpretada pro esse grupo com suas vozes maravilhosas e arranjos incríveis…. Ficou simplesmente como ela sempre foi e será……Uma magia e sensibilidade que nos envolve em forma de canção!
Pitch corrections aside, and there weren't that many. To sing this music so well and clean generally speaking is pretty amazing. I love the bass 'player', he's the foundation of the harmonies, so they couldn't have been off by much, we might be talking quarter tones or less here. Also, listen to the cutoffs, spot on. Their director is awesome. what a musical gift to all of us.
By the 4th minute I feel my I.Q. rising with every second. Haha. Seriously, awe inspiring and truly elevating. I hope you all get to record plenty albums in the years to come!
Pitch correction or not.. these people are making me love jazz! I'm so a fan of Afro-Blue!! If I went to Howard.. I might have wanted to be in that ensemble.. yes!
APPRECIATED YOUR RENDITION VERY MUCH. THIS SONG IS IN MY TOP 20 LIST. LAST LINE MEANS A LOT. FROM A 78 YEAR OLD GUY LIVING IN OREGON THAT CAME FROM THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF DETROIT.
Hi all, I just want to thank you for making this chart come to life. I originally arranged this with RS but I love what Connaitre has done and your Bass rocks my world. Amazing and despite all the comments re pitch correction LOL please, what doesn't these days on a recording? I am so happy you chose to record my chart and I would be happy to arrange for you anyday, I have plenty more, Love from Australia, Ross Burford ;)
@@cryurheartzout6681 Hi I arranged this chart, the use of the drone as you mentioned is just a pedal note sustained under changing chords but I did alter the notes of the pedal where needed.
Я слушаю весь день эту восхитительно А КАПЕЛЛУ, , СЕЙЧАС ЭТО БОЛЬШАЯ РЕДКОСТЬ ! ‼️‼️‼️💖‼️💖‼️💖 я благодарю автора, композиции, автора. Аранжировки, В. Восторге от пения, всё на высшем уровне, ‼️❗❗❗ красота неописуемая, 💖❗💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️❣️
Quite simply UPLIFTING which is the true meaning of music!!...sharing a message of inner peace straight from the heart and soul!!...can't get enough!!...beeing a bass singer myself, I get a big "low" kick out of the bass performance!!...puts me in a trance!!...keep on!!...Richard
OMG! I was cold this morning but your music warmed me up from the inside :) I'm lookng up any other work now :) Health & happiness to you & yours from Bowen, Qld., Australia :) x0
OMG!!!!Talent….musicianship, beauty of tone!!! Wow!!!In the sixties, I was in an a capella group, we had writers who wrote scores for us….your group is magical, inspirational, and you MUST come to Australia. Intonation is superb, I’m now your biggest fan. Thank you for your work! 👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderfully done. Very nice arrangement. Especially loved the tempo, beat and melody changes. They still need to grow and mature their range, tone, power and vibrato, but the basics are all there, ready to be enhanced with practice and experience. Excellent recording.
I discovered this after listening to Aurora's version. This is how the internet is supposed to work! Beautiful!
This is one of the best things I have ever seen.
And I'm about 47 seconds in...
By far, my favorite arrangement of Nature Boy, ever! Just, Damn! So lush, yet entergetic. The harmonics are wonderful.
I wish i could give this a thousand likes. That's how good it makes me feel.
A#1 performance and arrangement. Your own RUclips channel would be 'a good thing'.

Such lush harmonies. And that arrangement! Freaking unreal.
I just discovered Afro Blue. I can't believe anything in this world can be so beautiful!
All I wanted to do is cry and thank God for music
BEAUTIFUL!!! So glad I just found this,
❤ Brilliant, wow WOW, boy oh boy!
Those harmonies, Those melodies, that Baritone, those Tenors, that Base WOW...'Perrrfect' PERFECTO -

Listening to Afro Blue is a spiritual experience for me.
@rmessier2 That's All Voice. NO Auto Tune....That's skilled singing right there. Pure Voices.
Here for this in 2020! Came up in my feed while listening to my favorite male singer, Nat King Cole, sing it
BRILLIANT!!!
Wow...just....wow. I've just listened to versions from Lizz Wright and Kurt Elling. However, this one stirs something in my heart.
Afro Blue have the deep feel that music lovers crave for.
OOH. THAT SCATTING. Whew!
O my goodness, so beautiful. I feel in my heart that this canorous rapturous melody is pleasing to God's ears.
I use to think that James Brown did the best rendition of Nature Boy. Not any more. Bravo beautiful young people.
🙏🏾
superb voices and artistry.
Браво!Великолепное исполнение! Очень красиво в стиле а ля 60 годов.Россия.

hello, I am music student and was wondering if you could explain to me more about the technique of drones that they used.
